compact design, flexibility and high thermal limit rating, P2.e planetary gear units are ideal for continuous heavy-duty applications where space is tight. “These two additions now give us a full planetary range of products, which we have not had in the past,” Obermeyer point out, adding that maximum efficiency is achieved due to the unit’s best-in-class thermal rat ing, which requires no additional external cooling. Test facility for the X.e mixer drives He goes on to highlight that the new test facility for SEW-EURODRIVE’s X.e mixer drives will shortly be fully functional, which will allow these mixer drives to be load tested on demand and certificated before being shipped to site. “The testing facility enables loads to be applied to a vertical XE drive under test to give clients the assurance that the units will meet operational expecta tions,” Obermeyer says, adding that any of SEW-EURODRIVE’s vertical drive units can be tested at the facility. “There are so many exciting things hap pening at the moment. We have finished moving electronic assembly from Cape Town to Aeroton and we can offer local assembly of all SEW-EURODRIVE VSDs in various sizes and voltages. The servomo
